Cleaning and Trolley Collection
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This role keeps the supermarket clean, safe and presentable while collecting and returning shopping trolleys from the car park and surrounding areas. Requirements typically include the ability to work independently and as part of a team, good physical fitness for walking, pushing trolleys and handling cleaning equipment, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to safety. Candidates should be reliable, punctual, customer-focused and comfortable working early mornings, evenings, weekends or public holidays. Previous cleaning or retail experience may be helpful but is not always essential. A responsible approach to workplace hygiene, hazard reporting and respectful customer service is expected.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Sales assistants and shop-floor staff are not on the Core Skills list; only retail managers and buyers can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423+; a working holiday visa is the usual route for shop work.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Shop jobs go to people with work rights, including working holiday visa holders (6 months with one employer); there is no sponsorship route for sales assistants.
